No More \\\\\\\'Loosies\\\\\\\' In St. Paul
POSTED: 10:29 am PDT October 13, 2006
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- St. Paul is about to lose \\\\\\\"loosies.\\\\\\\"
The City Council voted Wednesday to ban the sale of single -- or loose -- cigarettes.
The council cited the lack of health warning labels on single smokes and said their cheapness makes them attractive to minors and the poor.
Council President Kathy Lantry proposed the ordinance after getting complaints from neighbors about the sale of loosies, which are found at some convenience stores, gas stations and liquor stores.
\\\\\\\"I think it\\\\\\\'s taking advantage of people,\\\\\\\" she said. \\\\\\\"It really is a way that kids start smoking.\\\\\\\"
Other Minnesota cities have already banned the loose cigarettes.
Public health experts said the sale of single cigarettes to minors is a big concern.
Research indicates the sale of loosies dates to the 1930s, when Depression-era men and women couldn\\\\\\\'t afford a full pack of cigarettes.
Anti-smoking activist Jeanne Weigum, who is president of the Association for Nonsmokers-Minnesota, said the most important reason to ban the practice is that buyers need to know that cigarettes are harmful, she said.
\\\\\\\"That\\\\\\\'s federal law. Cigarettes that are sold have to have a warning label,\\\\\\\" she said.
